The tour commences by taking a walk through the historic center of Compostela to visit the squares surrounding the Cathedral (Obradoiro, Azabachería, Quintana, Platerías, Fonseca, Toural, Cervantes …). Visual outer walks of the religious buildings (Hostal de los Reyes Católicos, Monasterio de San Martiño Pinario, Convent of San Paio de Antealtares, Chapel of the Corticela …), the museums (Museum of the Pilgrimages, House of the Cabildo, Eugenio Granell Museum …), the streets (Ruas do Franco, do Vilar, da Raíña, do Preguntoiro … ) and other monuments.

Our first stop will be a break to have a drink and a tapa of a typical culinary product of our city and so recharge batteries and continue with our guided tour.

We resume the tour but this time leaving behind the historic center towards what is the city outside the rampart of the old town where there is also a lot of history, as the old historic town also grew outside the wall and keeps much tradition in Compostela.

The last part of the tour, in form of food, takes us to the gastronomic experience. Different dishes, desserts and drinks from the Galician gastronomy (seafood, fish, meat, wine …). Outstanding products both in quality and flavor. A guided tour to remember!
